Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
Light gold
air Nose
Pure lemon juice, sheep wool and bonfire ash. An almost frustratingly elusive fruitiness keeps blinking in and out from underneath. Wee flashes of jasmine, kelp, juniper, passion fruit and papaya. More obviously there is seawater, smoked oatmeal, kelp, tar and lime juice. Precision and purity defined. With water: easier, more sexy, fruitier, more tropical and more citrusy. A fragrant smokiness develops rather beautifully
restaurant Palate
Oysters, shellfish, lemon juice, brine, antiseptic, coal tar soap and mercurochrome. Rather intense now - like a blade of salt taking your head off. Peated grist, smoky wort and peat embers. Like all the aromas of a distillery - well - distilled (get a grip Angus!). With water: oatmeal, cornflour and turmeric all wrapped up in pure peat smoke, ash, lemon rind and kippers. Gets fatter, oilier, greasier and intense with water
timer Finish
Long and lemony with lots of greasy peats, smouldering grist, tar and hessian
